One thing I love about sports manga is learning new things about sports. Even sports I already know about, like baseball. I had no idea a pitcher and a catcher is called a "battery." So even the first chapter of this JUMP START has made me more knowledgable about America's favorite pastime. Can't wait to go into bars when a game is on and talk about batteries! Haha, in all seriousness this manga looks like it will focus on that special relationships pitchers and catcher have. And with KAITO Sensei's excellent pedigree, you can bet it will be a most interesting tale!
